Rankin, Robert, Gardner, L. R. T., Barr, H. C., Boyd, T. J. M.
The effects of a magnetic field on the Raman and two‐plasmon decay instabilities are studied in the region of the quarter‐critical density of laser produced plasmas where both are coincident. Two‐plasmon decay of the incident extraordinary wave into two upper‐hybrid waves may now occur in the...

The propagating source method for solving the time-dependent Boltzmann equation describing particle propagation in a magnetically turbulent medium is extended to a more realistic case that includes focusing and adiabatic deceleration. The solutions correspond to beam propagation in the solar...

Theory and Application of Thomson Scattering to Particle Transport and Magnetic Field Measurements in Laser-Produced Plasmas
DownloadSpring 2023
The particle transport, plasma currents, and magnetic fields were investigated in laboratory plasmas, both with the Optical Thomson Scattering (OTS) diagnostic and in theory and numerical simulations. %despite the presence of hot ion tails, which would be more suppressed by collisions in real...

The effect of partial coherence of a probe on the spectrum of Thomson scattered radiation from plasma is investigated. The coherence of a probe is described in terms of the electric field Gaussian correlation function of the finite correlation time (longitudinal coherence) and the finite...
